Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - The University of Detroit signed head women's
basketball coach Autumn Rademacher to a three-year contract extension on
Monday.

"I am extremely pleased with the direction of the Titan women's basketball
program under coach Rademacher's leadership. Her passion for the game as well
as for the university and the city of Detroit is evident every day," said
university athletic director Keri Gaither. "Autumn has brought the same
intensity, pride and success back into the Titan program as the head coach of
her alma mater as she did when she played for the program."

The Titans finished 20-14 last season, including a 14-4 mark in the Horizon
League, and made an appearance in the Women's NIT. It marked the first 20-win
campaign for the program since 1997, when Rademacher -- then a guard -- led
the school to an MCC title and NCAA Tournament berth.

"I would like to thank Keri (Gaither) and President Garibaldi for the
privilege to coach the Detroit women's basketball team for another three
years," said Rademacher. "I am extremely grateful that they feel we have the
program headed in the right direction and have faith that we will continue to
build on the success that we have had both on the court and in the classroom."

Over her four-year tenure, Rademacher has compiled a 62-65 record, which
includes a pair of winning years and double-digit victory totals in each
season.
